.. is when people believe that death is preferable. But have they really thought about that? Here are a few thoughts from Feminists for Life:

Disability� what if the fetus is or could be disabled?
It is natural to want to "save from suffering the unborn innocent" as was
written in Susan B. Anthony's Revolution.
(http://www.feministsforlife.org/history/foremoth.htm)
If actual or potential disability is a reason to devalue children before
birth, what cruel message does this send to persons with disabilities who
are already born?
Would you say to someone in a wheelchair that s/he should never have been
born? That's the message people get when they talk about "gross fetal
anomalies."
How many artists, musicians, writers with disabilities or no fault brain
disease have enriched our world? Would artist Toulouse-Lautrec�s
paintings have had a bigger impact if he were taller in stature? What
would our world be like without the contributions of artist Van Gogh,
musician Beethoven, or writer Sylvia Plath?
